The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: Illustrations by Giovanni Battista Piranesi (Arcturus Epic Classics)
Description
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Hardcover
The original publication of Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall was an exhaustive, six-volume account of a 'revolution which shall ever be remembered and is still felt by the nations of the earth'. Here, this celebrated work of historical scholarship has been abridged to a more digestible length, complete with scabrous and entertaining footnotes detailing the decadence that led to the fall of Rome.
This handsome hardback editions is gloriously illustrated by the illustrious Italian artist, Giovanni Battista Piranesi. These dramatic neoclassical etchings accompany the text, as well as the printed page edges and full-colour endpapers of this edition.
